The 2024–25 European Rugby Champions Cup (known as the 2024–25 Investec Champions Cup for sponsorship reasons) was the eleventh season of the European Rugby Champions Cup, the annual club rugby union competition run by European Professional Club Rugby (EPCR) for professional clubs. It was the 30th season of the pan-European professional club rugby competition and the second season in which Investec are named as title sponsors.
For the first time since its 1995 founding (as the Heineken Cup), no Welsh teams are playing in the ERCC, as none of them finished in the top seven of the 2023–24 United Rugby Championship. The final will be played at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, Wales.
Toulouse entered the competition as defending champions, seeking a record-extending seventh title, but fell in the semi final to French rivals Bordeaux Bègles. Leinster, beaten finalists in the past three editions, sought a record fourth consecutive final, and to become the second team after Toulouse to win a fifth Champions Cup, but lost to English champions and former European champions Northampton Saints, also in the semi-final.
Bordeaux Bègles won the final, beating Northampton Saints 28–20 for their first title.
